Do I really WANT a fast Airhead?

Theres a guy here who has had his R90/6 for sale for a while. I have a sixth sense that I get a certain "feeling" that a bike I see for sale will be mine someday....and I have it in spades on this one. Same happened the first time I saw the R100RS, and the R60/5, my Range rover and my Dinan M535i. oh, the Husky and ZRX too....anyway I digress. This thing is for sale for under 3k, looks pretty good, he says it runs strong but sokes a "little". I figured if I can get him down to 2k or less, i have an R90 I can trick out. PLEASE talk me out of this!

I sense you will soon be entertaining us with pics of a certain R90/6 that's been begging for your attention.







When do we get to the 'fast' part?

Yeah, like anyone here would talk you out of buying another bike.

Don't worry cause it's not really fast.

No.

Do I really WANT a fast Airhead?

of course you do!

Bigger issue will be stopping fast

especially with a R90/6

I want to see a forced-induction Airhead.

C'moooon. You know you want to.

It's a step in the right direction.

I refuse to cooperate with your request...go buy it...

I'll just make sure I only gun it where I can see a long way....for the stopping part. Of course, in my opinion, a tricked out bike also means brakes and suspension........not just an all motor monster with a Hinge and a bad stopping problem...

kinda why I asked here! I don't want to be talked out of it!

Quick and nimble?

I'm not sure that the words "fast" and "airhead" should really ever occur in the same sentence.

The first leg on his commute is downhill.

Neither here nor there, but speeds on my BMWs...

1966 R60/2 85mph to 90mph

1981 R100RS aka Das Beast 120mph +

1983 R100RS 125mph +

But... I pretty much live in a 73 mph world. Lest I want blue lights and more trouble than any soul needs.

"fast" is a realtive term.

Oh, he wants a fast Airhead. That's doable.
